About Hippie Sabotage

Hippie Sabotage is the electronic duo of twins Jeff and Krit Gipson, operating out of Santa Cruz since the early 2010s. They built a following by uploading remixes and originals to SoundCloud, eventually developing a signature sound that blends downtempo electronic production with hip-hop influences and hazy, introspective vibes. "Your Soul Today" became their breakthrough track, a dreamy interpolation that felt simultaneously slick and intimate. The brothers have maintained a steady output of stripped-down production, often sampling soul records and building minimal arrangements around them. Their aesthetic is distinctly West Coast — not aggressively experimental, but genuinely odd in the way they balance trap-adjacent snares with lo-fi warmth and vinyl crackle. They've collaborated with artists across the indie and electronic spectrum, and their SoundCloud archives reveal a prolific, consistently mood-focused approach to production. Hippie Sabotage represents a particular strand of internet-era electronic music: understated, sample-heavy, and skeptical of polish.

Their sets feel intentionally detached, with production doing the heavy lifting while the brothers stay in the background. Crowds are there for the mood, not the spectacle. Energy is subdued but focused, with people actually listening rather than jumping around. Shows feel like going to someone's apartment to hear new music.

Known for Your Soul Today, Floating, Ways, Shine, Smoke and Retribution

Hippie Sabotage in Providence News

Live Music in Providence

Providence's music scene has gravitational pull toward indie rock and alternative acts, but electronic and hip-hop crossover artists have been gaining ground. The city's venues tend to draw artists who don't fit neatly into one lane, and fans here appreciate production-forward acts that layer sounds rather than strip them down. Hippie Sabotage's instrumental electronic approach with sampling and bass-heavy production could resonate with the city's appetite for artists doing something unexpected.

Providence road trip to see Hippie Sabotage?

Stay in College Hill, where you can actually walk around without feeling like you're in a dead zone—the neighborhood has real restaurants and bars. Eat at Chez Pascal or Oberlin for something serious. Before the show, spend an afternoon at the RISD Museum, which is legitimately excellent and free if you're a student or cheap enough if you're not. The museum's collection is small enough to actually process in a couple hours, which beats most cities. Walk down Benefit Street afterward. It's the kind of place that reminds you why people actually used to settle in New England intentionally.
